I do prefer some of the previous design elements. I think the "new" Reminders design is crap and I like the old one much better.I miss the guy.
But not CEO material.Scott Forstall > Tim Cook
There is no debate. Charismatic storyteller & visionary.
Where's the video, why not embed it into the article?
A charismatic, geeky guy that was in charge of designing the iPhone. Not saying he'd make a good CEO, but he's quite the talent.
Stupid comparison. It's like saying Belfiore > Satya. Two different persons with different skill sets and expertise. Forstall cannot run a company. Tim Cook can, which is why Jobs himself groomed him to be the next CEO. When fired, Jobs went ahead started Next. Forstall is doing nothing. I don't understand why people keeps idolizing him today.Scott Forstall > Tim Cook

I happen to agree with that, but as far as a product runway, he and his team had that sorted independent of his illness and death caused by refusing surgery.I'm not convinced Steve, in the last one to two years of his illness, put together the pipeline in place his media mouthpiece says he did. I think you need to take much of it with a grain of salt. Did he crack TV? No. And grooming other people...

I don't think being a jerk is a prerequisite for Apple's leadership. Jobs might be a jerk, but he's a real entrepreneur. He started Next after being booted off Apple. Forstall is doing nothing, so he's more like just a jerk.I get that the dude was somewhat of a jerk, but it seems like that's almost par for the course of Apple's leadership.
I always thought it was a little disloyal to get rid of him so soon after Steve's passing.
Who said Apple needs anyone other than cook? They seem to be doing quite well with cook at the helm in spite of the "Apple is doomed" memes for the last 6 years.Because Apple desperately needs someone like him to push the company forward. There is no one at Apple today with that sharp SOB visionary focus.
Really? No vision nor focus? The fact that Apple now has the fastest and most efficient mobile SoC on the planet is not visionary nor focus? Or do you just want Apple to make different looking phones every 6 months?Because Apple desperately needs someone like him to push the company forward.

Apple maintains Jobs' vision. Go back to Jobs' car vs truck analogy. Apple is working hard towards that vision. But people wants Apple to just make cheap desktops like Acer.
As compared to iOS 11?
*Snip*
iOS 6 had none of this...

I don't think we really know enough about Scott's departure. Things are always more complex than they appear.
Yes, he was a difficult person to work with.
Yes, Maps was a mess.
Yes, he refused to apologize.
I tend to think, and this is only my opinion, and not based on any knowledge, that the maps thing was forced on Scott because Tim wanted to break free from dependence on Google.
I think Scott told him that it was a terrible idea and the Maps wasn't ready and Tim said tough ****.
When it blew up, Tim told him to apologize, and he refused, because the mistake was not his. He wasn't trying to protect himself (as someone claimed) he was just not going to say he was sorry for something that wasn't his fault and was forced on him.
Again, I don't have anything to back this up, but sometimes you need someone who is a pain in the *** to not slip into mediocrity. And I think there are too many "Yes Men" at Apple now. We need an SOB like Scott to stand up for what's right and not for what makes the most profit in the short term.
To add...Charisma and stage presence are a bad quality for a CEO apparently /s
